The Dumb Waiter, Matthews Yard – Review
The play was good, with strong acting and some very funny moments. However the venue let the overall production down.
-
Poilu and Tommy, The Courtyard Theatre – Review
Less is sometimes more, as this overly ambitious and highbrow performance demonstrates.
-
Ray Shell’s Back to Black, The Pheasantry – Review
Ray Shell is a great singer and talented entertainer, with charm, poise, intelligence and wonderful sense of humour. He knows how to work an audience and makes his show feel like a private party. A must see for musical theatre…
-
Our Big Land, Ovalhouse – Review
A slick and professional production that could have been a bit more edgy and in-depth with its storytelling, given the fairly unusual theme.
-
Elegies for Angels, Punks and Raging Queens, White Bear Theatre – Review
Elegies isn’t a perfect musical, but it is brilliantly executed in this production. Both joyful and touching!
-
Amateur Girl, St James Studio – Review
An excellent performance from Speed ensures the audience remains focused on Julie and her heart-wrenching story. For those who enjoy a more humorous production, this may not be for you.
-
Fucking Outside the Box, VAULT Festival, Waterloo Tunnels – Review
Polished and well-crafted, this show is completely focused on a 17-year-old’s sexual experiences so will only interest people who engage with the character and her message.
-
The Final Revelation of Sherlock Holmes, Pleasance Theatre – Review
Strapped for cash and remembering the good old cases, The Final Revelation is a playful adaptation of England’s most famous detective duo.
-
Tell Me on a Sunday, The Duchess Theatre – Review
Webb is not as dynamic or strong as she once was but if you want to quench your thirst for nostalgia, I don’t think you will be disappointed.
-
A Wedding Story, Tristan Bates Theatre – Review
A richly rewarding show about filial duty, personal relationships, and the ties that bind us together.
